Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 286 Final Performance, Wang Churan in High Position

On the other side, at six o'clock in the evening.

Magic City, Shanghai Theatre Academy.

The final performance, which had been prepared for more than ten days, officially began.

The evening performance was held at the Duanjun Theater on the Huashan Road campus.

Participating in the conference were Acting Department Director He Yan, Deputy Director Xiao Ying, Party Branch Deputy Secretary Zhu Feng, professional course teacher Sun Yuyang, class teachers, and all undergraduate, master, and doctoral students majoring in Drama and Film Acting. The conference was hosted by Party Branch Deputy Secretary Zhu Feng.

At this moment, a group of college leaders were sitting in the audience, and hundreds of teachers and students from Shanghai Theatre Academy filled all the empty seats in the theater. Many people could only stand in the aisles or stick to the corners.

On the stage, the performance is going on.

The evening party started with the cheerful and festive instrumental ensemble of the Chinese Opera Academy. The song "Welcome the Spring" brought everyone the audio-visual enjoyment of national musical instruments.

Students from the Department of Drama and Literature performed their skit “On the Eve of Graduation”. A group of literature students who armed themselves with words created a wonderful stage work with passionate dances and carefully adapted songs.

The students of the Department of Performance, who came into the public eye from the variety show "First Year", brought a fashion show "Youth We Have Walked Through Together" after years of training. Their unique fashion show, dynamic dance and clear singing aroused warm cheers from the audience.

Wang Churan was also among them. Today she appeared in a green strapless dress, looking noble and elegant. Her eyes were moving and she looked bright and generous. She stood out among the students walking on the catwalk and attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

After becoming famous for her role as Liu Xiyin, she, the newly crowned campus beauty of Shanghai Theatre Academy, became the most popular person on campus. Except for Tian Xiwei, who was not often at school, no one could compare with her.

The following programs were equally colorful and full of climaxes, including the dance sketch "Memories and Fantasy" by the Dance Academy, the glove puppet show "Humans and Puppets on the Same Stage" and the musical performance "What I Did for Love" by the School of Chinese Opera, original songs by the School of Creativity, poetry recitation with music by the Department of Drama and the Graduate School, the collective chorus of Table 09, and the original song "Perfect Summer" by the Department of Stage Design, all of which showed the unique style of different colleges and departments and made the teachers and students in the audience very excited.

Afterwards, fellow students from the Department of Stage Art presented a wonderful combination of light, shadow, and props, and said a farewell “Cheers”.

Students from the Academy of Film and Television performed the song and dance “The Crossroad Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom”, and students from the Directing Department prepared the skit “I Remember You, Director 15”.

Students majoring in musical theatre from the Department of Performance performed touching characters one after another through singing and dancing. They presented a musical medley “A Musical in My Heart”.

As the performance came to an end, Zhu Feng looked around at the teachers, students and school leaders in the audience and raised the microphone with a smile.

"Next we will have our last performance, the song "Dimples" by Tian Xiwei from Grade 16."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Feng walked down the stage from the side, and the lights in the theater dimmed.

"Ooh!"

There was loud cheering at the scene, the volume far exceeding that of all previous performances.

The most popular student at Shanghai Theatre Academy in the past year is none other than Tian Xiwei.

The movie "Lovely" made her an instant celebrity, and her graceful appearance on stage at the Starlight Awards is still talked about today.

Looking at the enthusiastic reaction from the audience, Wang Churan, who walked to the side of the stage with his classmates after the performance, curled his lips in dissatisfaction, his expression unchanged.

Wait a little longer, I will definitely surpass you!

On the stage, a beam of white light hit the curtain directly. Along with the melodious prelude of Dimples, the curtain slowly opened to both sides, and a tall figure appeared in everyone's sight.

When I looked up, Tian Xiwei was wearing a new Chinese style solid color cheongsam, which showed off her curvy figure and made her look elegant and tranquil.

Well, at least it seems so.

She had straight bangs today, with her long hair tied up at the back of her head and flowing down her right shoulder. A thin, white and soft neck was revealed above the round collar, and her slender shoulders and back revealed the graceful elegance unique to a young girl.

She has an oval face with fair skin and red lips, and beautiful eyes and eyebrows that are full of life. Against the backdrop of a plain cheongsam, she looks pure and elegant.

As soon as she appeared, Tian Xiwei attracted the attention of everyone present.

Warm applause filled the entire theater, and the college leaders in the audience nodded repeatedly.

Tian Xiwei smiled and nodded to the teachers, students and leaders in the audience. Two shallow dimples appeared on her fair face. She slowly raised the microphone in her hand as the music played.

"I'm still looking for someone to rely on"

"And a hug..."

The song flowed, and Tian Xiwei's sweet voice filled the entire theater. Her singing skills were so-so and she was always in tune, but her voice was sweet enough. Many boys present were shaking their heads while listening to her, looking like they were mesmerized by her singing.

Of course, it would be more convincing if they didn't stare their bright eyes at Tian Xiwei on the stage.

Wang Churan glanced at the reactions of the boys at the scene and a hint of indignation appeared in her eyes. When it comes to appearance, she has never been defeated by anyone.

She believes that if Tian Xiwei was not more famous than her, she would definitely get more attention with the help of filters.

As Tian Xiwei uttered the last word, the loudest applause of the night broke out. It was estimated that if the school leaders were not present, the boys' whistles and cheers would have been even louder.

Tian Xiwei bowed to the college leaders in the audience with a proper smile, then stood up and smiled at the teachers and students below before turning back to the backstage.

"Senior Tian is so beautiful!"

"Today's outfit is so elegant, and the figure is so good!"

"It's mainly because of this aura of ease and control. Why does it look familiar?"

"She is probably the most famous student in our college right now."

"What do you think if I go after Junior Sister Tian..."

"What the hell are you dreaming about!"

……

Listening to the discussions around her, Wang Churan curled her lips in disdain. She actually hoped that someone here could catch up with Tian Xiwei, but she glanced at these misfits and subconsciously rolled her eyes. Even though Tian Xiwei and Lin Li had a conflict, even though she was scolded by Tian Xiwei last time, she didn't think that Tian Xiwei would still be interested in these guys after being with Lin Li.

The evening party ended with Zhu Feng’s impassioned speech, and it was announced that the party would move to the college’s internal restaurant for the dinner.

Then, teachers and students began to move to the banquet place in groups.

Backstage.

Tian Xiwei sat in front of the makeup mirror, swiping the screen of her mobile phone, watching the media reports about the youth crew, a hint of anger flashing in her big round eyes.

It's this week again!

Habar! You are very kind to her!

She originally thought that there was something going on between Zhang Jingyi and Lin Li, so she made a special trip to visit the Fengquan crew last time. Unexpectedly, she didn't see anything from Zhang Jingyi. On the contrary, Zhou Ye now didn't look innocent at all with Lin Li.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me!

Tian Xiwei comforted herself, closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before opening her eyes again.

"Oda, let's go to the dinner party."

Her roommate's voice called out in the distance.

"Coming."

Tian Xiwei responded in a hoarse voice, then fixed her hair in front of the mirror, stood up and walked over.

-

At the dinner party, dark red silk curtains covered the windows, reflecting the light of the candlelight, creating a secret and warm atmosphere.

On the dining table in the center of the hall, the silver candlesticks and tableware sparkled in the candlelight, casting bizarre light and shadows.

The table was filled with exquisite dishes and snacks, exuding an enticing aroma that made people's appetites grow.

Against the wall are sofas and coffee tables for resting. On the coffee table and the small round table in the corner are scented candles of various shapes, which are used to liven up the atmosphere and make people relax.

In addition, there are some cards and chess pieces for entertainment on the coffee table, as well as some objects used for divination games.

Since it was an internal buffet dinner at the college, the content of the party was much more casual and included a lot of entertaining games.

When Wang Churan and several classmates walked into the scene, a wave of gazes swept over them.

Wang Churan smiled proudly and ignored the gazes elegantly. He walked to a round table with several classmates, sat down and started chatting.

"Hey, Chu Ran, I really envy you. Your first drama became famous. We are still in school and don't know where the door of the crew will open."

"No, I'm not that popular. I'm just a minor supporting role."

"You're already the national cousin, how can you not be famous? Chu Ran, don't be so modest."

"Please don't call me that. I can't stand it. It's too loud. It's all nonsense from marketing accounts."

“I hope some marketing account will say something about me, but there is no chance!”

"We have only been studying at the academy for a short time. There is no need to rush. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"I hope so. It seems so hard to become famous! I heard that many seniors with good grades sent their resumes everywhere but got no results."

"Our circle is like this. There are thousands of people trying to cross a narrow bridge, but how many of them can really be known by the public?"

"That's why I say you're amazing. I envy you so much, Chu Ran."

"Oh, why are you talking about this again?"

Wang Churan was chatting with a few good classmates, who were praising her in their words. Although she acted very reserved, she felt very happy in her heart, and the smile on her face never disappeared.

"Hey, Tian Xiwei is here."

Someone shouted, but the smile on Wang Churan's face froze, and he followed everyone's gaze and looked towards the entrance.

What caught my eye was Tian Xiwei, who walked into the dinner party hand in hand with her two roommates, smiling.

Wang Churan glanced around and found that the people present were paying much more attention to Tian Xiwei than when he was there.

This discovery made the smile on her face disappear, and her expression suddenly turned cold.

Seeing Tian Xiwei sitting down not far away, Wang Churan's heart moved. She remembered Tian Xiwei's warning to her last time, and suddenly she felt an urge to rush up to her and question her.

Didn't you tell me not to have any unrealistic ideas? What happened? You broke up with him?
She really couldn't understand how there could be a girl like Tian Xiwei?
Having a boyfriend like Lin Li, she would actually get upset with him in such a public place.

It’s simply unreasonable!
"Speaking of which, the most outstanding student in our Shanghai Theatre Academy right now is Tian Xiwei. She is so lucky that she was selected by Teacher Nan Xun for her first play. I heard that it was Teacher Nan Xun who came to our school personally to invite her. This is such a blessing from heaven!"

"Yes, yes! There's no comparison, really no comparison!"

"That's Teacher Nan Xun!"

……

Listening to the sighs of his classmates, Wang Churan suddenly mustered up an inexplicable courage, picked up the champagne on the table, stood up and walked straight towards Tian Xiwei.

Several classmates behind her looked at her menacing back in shock and looked at each other in silence.

Why does this look like a fight?
